Rahim and Jin

One of the things I love about shooting weddings in Toronto is the variety of cultures we have here and being able to witness how people celebrate their special day. Rahim and Jim's started the day before when the families gathered to offer their blessings and come together for a fun filled night of dancing, at the Payal Banquet Hall in MississaugaThen it was an early start the next morning with the Sikh Ceremony at the Shromani Sikh Sangat in Mississauga.


A very touching moment as the bride leaves her parents to start her new life.
A quick dress change for Jin and
a few last minute preparations before the Ismaili ceremony.The reception took place at the Red Rose convention Centre in Mississauga. Some games were played, including this one which involved the Bride and Groom smashing these little ceramic pots filled with aromatic spices. The object is to be the first one to break it.

As you can see here Jin was clearly the winner, and from what I heard the loser
has to do all the household chores for the first year of marriage!
Looks like Rahim will be a busy guy!

I love the way Jin's beautiful dress sparkled in the light as they shared their first dance together.
I had a great time shooting their wedding it was an honour to be a part of this beautiful day. I wish Jin and Rahim many, many years of happiness together! I would also like to thank my new associate Deanne for helping me out.
